I have very dry skin in winter. I mean - dry red flaky patches around my nose, wake up with sunken tight dull skin, dry undereye skin that concealer clings too. Winter and my skin are not friends. I’ve tried so many products over the years and only a few have made the difference.
This product is fantastic for dry skin. I apply it over my moisturiser and blends well and sinks in. It feels super hydrating, and leaves your skin looking fresh and glowing.
I have a fair-light complexion. Initially I was worried this BB cream would be too dark, but the colour blends out really nicely and gives you a healthy sun-kissed glow. I feel this could be buildable for medium skin tones too. I apply concealer and bronzer/highlighter over this and it works well under my makeup.
So if you have dry and sensitive skin, and after a glowy natural look that is hydrating and SPF protecting - then I highly recommend this product. I’ve purchased twice now, and will keep this as a staple in my makeup bag forever.
Definitely really like this product!! Lightweight coverage, neutral shade. Just a little transfer but if you use a finishing powder it should be no problem.

Light and blurring
I use this over sunscreen as SPF 20 is not sufficient on its own, and I really like. It's akin to a tinted moisturizer with a definite blurring effect, and the SPF 20 is an added layer of protection. Good for combination / oily skin with large pores which become less visible. The lighter shade is best for fair skin in my opinion, have tried both but prefer the medium for my light skin. Sunscreen, BB Blur and a dusting of powder on top gives light but seamless coverage perfect for daily wear.

BB Blur
I’ve been having a hard time finding a tinted moisturizer that is light and goes on easy and thought this would be it because I use their mineral ultra-light tinted sunscreen and just love it! However, it’s too dark to use in the winter months. The color of the lightest shade of this BB Blur was as dark as the sunscreen and was almost “pasty” in consistency, making it very difficult to apply. If only they had a “ light” tinted mineral sunscreen! I gave this product a 2 because I do like most of their products, I just think they need to “ lighten up” this makeup in more ways than one:]
LaRoche -Posay Effaclar BB Blur for my BB Blur
La Roche-Posay Effaclar BB Blur works really well for my main foundation. Both shades complement my complexion, and I never have to do touch-ups during the day. It glides very smoothly on my face and neck. I enjoy all of the skin care products that Lovely Skin.com offers.

Very light with great coverage
I am not a fan of makeup anymore and usually just wear a tinted sunscreen. I tried this product for days when I want a little more coverage and I love it. It is very light like a mousse and applies easily. Even though it is very light, it totally covers up any spots or blemishes and leaves you with an even complexion.

Disappointed
This is the only matte BB cream I've been able to find. Got excited and ordered it. With all of my other creams, I'm a Light/Medium. There's only two choices and one of them was my Lt/Mdm. Perfect! It's nowhere near the right color for me. It makes me yellow. Bummer!
Not for me
I had high expectations but was a little disappointed. I'm looking for something to blur pores and imperfections, but in some ways, this seemed to make my pores more visible.

Clogged my pores
This product clogged my pores and left my skin irritated by the end of the day. It also melts off throughout the day. It goes on really nicely and doesn’t sit in pores. I really wanted to love this, but my skin reacted so badly.

So-So
4 Stars for Mattifying staying power, 3 stars for color match and skin disruptions. It didn't match my skin so great, but I do like this to help absorb oil. It also let's me wear it alone, without a primer or powder over top, so this is my top pick for desperately quick getting ready days.

Favorite light Foundation
I have finally found it! The best and lightest foundation I have ever used. Perfect color, perfect feel. About to order more. It’s soft and feels powdery in a creamy way. I had been using a thicker full cover foundation that took so much longer to apply and blend. I’m 60 and felt that the one I was using for years was the only thing that would cover all flaws. Not so. Effaclar is the best for all of my concerns, and it’s quick and easy to use.

not that great
This product was just as good as a cheaper product line. I think it's overpriced and didn't work well.

Amazing Moisturizer
I love La-Roche Posay products. They always work really well with my skin, which tends to range from normal to oily. I never feel like my face is greasy after using this and now that it includes sunscreen, it means one less product to use. The only thing is the the Fair/Light shade I use is very light. It works ok on my but in the summer it can be a little too light.

Best foundation I've ever tried
It's light and has good coverage, it clears the skin and keeps it matte. I'm happy with the product.

Love this product!
While I do not have acne, which is what this product is advertised for, I do have sunspots and some minor broken capillaries - as well as oily skin, so the matte part of this product appealed to me. It covers so well [but is still light!] that sometimes I use it as my only makeup for the day. I love all of LaRoche Posay's sunscreen products and always use them underneath any make up I use!

Not as good as I had hoped
I was so excited for this product to arrive. I love their products and use the moisturizer daily. I did a test... 1/2 BB Blur on one side and 1/2 my current BB cream on the other side. Color was a match but by the end of the day the BB Blur didn't hold up as well in the matte department. I was shiny and it seemed to sink in more than my current [1/2 the price] BB Cream. Unfortunately I'm returning it. I had high hopes but my skin is just too oily apparently.
